@skullpatrol, help him

If you don't understand, hire a personal tutor.

@Hero Good one :D

factorization of a quadratic \[(x+a)(x+b)=x^2+(a+b)x+a\times b\] \[x^2 - x - 2\] the factors of the scalar term \[a\times b=-2=\pm1\times\pm2\] the sum of the factors equals the coefficient of liner term \[(a+b)=-1=+1+-2\] \[x^2 - x - 2\]\[=(x + 1)(x - 2)\] to check we have the correct factorisation, expand the brackets \[(x + 1)(x - 2)=x^2 +(1-2)x +(1\times-2)\]\[\qquad\qquad\qquad=x^2 - x - 2\quad\checkmark \]
